    John Fogerty at Mohegan Sun Arena Thursday

    It's a big year for John Fogerty. The musician behind Creedence Clearwater Revival recently turned 70, and his autobiography, "Fortunate Son," will be published in October. But is this as big as 1969, the year when Creedence was one of the biggest bands in the world?

    Why not juxtapose the two? It's happening. Fogerty's on the road behind the "Performs the Songs of Creedence Clearwater 1969" and performs tonight in the Mohegan Sun Arena. For those perhaps only familiar with FM rock staples such as "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," "Born On the Bayou" and "Who'll Stop the Rain," you'll be surprised at the show's nearly 30-tune set list. Because — whether you know it or not right now — you're gonna recognize virtually every song.

    Fogerty is a master of three-minute sonic miracles — many with socially conscious commentary — and the catalog is the stuff of rock immortality. See and hear for yourself.

    John Fogerty, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $44.50; 1-888-664-3426.
